InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I will always return to you ❯ Goodbyes and hellos ( Chapter 3 )

As rin and I prepared to leave Sesshourmaru stopped by my room with my ring on a chain about his neck.

"Before you leave I must do something"

He came and kissed my forehead. and a blue cresent moon appered.

"this will mark you as my ward. No upper level demon will risk my anger by attacking you. Lower level demons won't know the mark but you cantake care of them by yourself."

"thank you."

"I will miss you both."

"I will miss you too."

On impulse I hugged him tight and he drew my chin up with one clawed hand.

"Retun to me swiftly." And he kissed me. Not like last night but more demanding and deeply, his fangs slightly dragging across my lower lip be for he drew away.

He watched as the only two women he had ever loved rode from him.

One a daughter and one. . . He didn't know what she was.

But he knew he loved her.

"Kagome?"

"yes Rin"

"where are we going?"

"We are going to fing my teacher Keade. I want you to meet her. Then I will find the rest of my friends and after that. . . I don't know. Maybe we will go on an adventure like we used to."

"sounds fun."

A few days later I ran in to an old friend.

"hey! There's my Woman!"

"Hello Kouga. And I'm not your woman."

"you bet your ass your not! Because I am!"

I tuned to see a female wolf demon with Kouga.

"Kouga I'm hurt. You mean you didn't wait for me?"

I just couldn't help but joke with him. Mess with his head a bit.

"YOu mean you wanted to be my woman."

I laughed at the confused look on his face.

"I'm kidding. why don't you introduce us?"

"i'm Tam."

"I am Kagome. this is Rin, Daughter of Sesshoumaru."

"So it that where you've been all these years? with him?"

"Yeah"

"well I'd love to stay and chat but we have to go"

"See you Kouga."

"And remember, You'll always be my woman Kagome!"

I sighed and shook my head as he left.

"what was that all about."

"Rin. . . Well. . . One day he kidnapped me and decided that I was his woman. Inuyasha wasn't too happy about it but I don't think Kouga was really serious about it after the first few times. I think he just wanted to annoy Inuyasha."

"tell me about your friends."

"well Sango is a demon Exterminator. Her intire village was distroyed by Naraku and she joined us. Then there is Miroku. you'll have to watch him. He's the most lecherous monk ever. But after he knows your Sesshoumarus daughter he should stop asking you to bear his child. Shippo would be just a few years older then you.

(I'm using author power. I want Shippo to be 15. rin is 13 if you check your math. I'm doing the math this way. Shippo was 7 in the beginning then 6 years of jewel searching. 2 years she was away that makes 15 and i want him to age as a human for now so he is an adolescent fox demon K! don't argue with me)

"and let's save talking about Inuyasha for another day."

Entering the door to Keade's hut I found a local woman leaning over Keade.

"keade. I have returned."

"i know I would see ye again befor me time came to take me away."

"What are you talking about?"

"I am an old old woman. I have spent my life well."

"you can't mean. . . "

"Never lie to yourself when ye know the truth."

"where are Sango and Miroku and shippo?"

"They live in the South. I sent for them but they are moving slowly."

"I'm sorry I was gone so long Keade. I never ment to abandon you"

"Nonsence. Ye had responsiblities. Ye completed the jewel, and ye have trained a fine young miko. I have watched ye closely. Ye have also found love at last have ye not?"

She laughed softly.

"yes I'm sure ye have."

"rest now Keade. I'm here."

She died later that night. Peacefully in her sleep.

As I said all the blessings I could think of I buried her near the well.

And when I was done I sang her a lulliby my mother sang to me when I was young.

"Come close the curtains of your eyes

And I will sing you lullibies

Of stars and moons and sun that rise.

And planets in their play

For god at night unlocks the skies

to little folk who close their eyes

And they shall ride a cloud at night

above the milky way.

So draw the curtains of your eyes

And I will sing you Lullibies

for god has leaned from paridise

And closed the gates of day."

The last not floated on the wind clear and crisp.

Pure and strong

I wiped a tear from my eye before saying.

"hello Inuyasha."

"Hello Kagome."
